Testimonials

Dr Brian Williamson

"Networking is a fundamental cornerstone of business and in today’s busy world, so many events and organisations are competing for our attention and our time. The difference with WeDO Scotland is that they display all the characteristics of a close knit family, however they have the strength and depth of a large organisation. They are without doubt a rich source of learning and connections."

Professor John Anderson

"Having worked with and supported Belinda from the start of WeDO, I was delighted when WeDO launched in Glasgow in 2018. With their collaborative approach to helping entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, I’m confident it will have a very positive impact on the West coast business community. Entrepreneurship and growth are central to Scotland’s economic policy agenda and organisations such as WeDO play an important role in ensuring that business leaders are supported throughout their journeys."
